The Lakes Course at the Resort at Red Hawk is a Robert Trent Jones masterpiece that has helped vault Reno and the High Sierra into the upper echelon of West Coast golf destinations. Named the best daily fee golf experience by readers of the <em>Reno-Gazette Journal</em>, the Hills Course is a challenge not to be missed.

Playing to more than 7,100 yards from the tips, the Lakes Course is a haven for big hitters who love dangerous risk-reward opportunities, as well as for players who thrive on accuracy in their golf game. More than 100 bunkers challenge golfers, as do a plethora of trees and water hazards that both add to the aesthetics of the course, and the difficulty.

Along with its sister, the Hills Course, the Lakes Course has helped the Resort at Red Hawk become synonymous with stellar golf action and excellent service.

Where are the winter rates?

Wasn't told about a shotgun start when I booked tee time. Cart path only on a windy, cooler day. Slow play due to shotgun start. Troon golf is terrible. Talon Club packages at an all time high. Prices for range have also gone up. It is a beautiful course in the summer which comes with over $100 price tag. Disappointing to live in the neighborhood and go out of my way to play a more affordable option. I'll stick with the Duncan Management 50 Mile Club!

Pace was terrible

Great course to play but 5 and 1/2 hours is not very fun. Have played for 50 years and this was the longest round I have ever played. Marshal's were not very helpful.

Beat up greens

Almost every green suffered from unrepaired ball marks, some dragging their spikes around the cups. Course was too wet overwatering, I was always wiping mud from my ball.

Except for smoke, beautiful day

Course is in great shape with only blemish 1st green which has always been an issue with grass. Most sand traps had actual sand that was set up a little by watering but playable. Only complaint was I wish they could rid the lakes off the algae and chemicals to be able to fish my errant goofballs out from the water. Was actually surprised to find the wet lands wet this time of year usually dried out by now. Frequent passes by beverage cart on a hot day was nice.

Over Priced

For $130 dollars you would think this place would be in pristine condition. Bunkers have weeds or ponds in them, greens were saturated, and some of the greens are in bad shape. For the amount they charge you would expect better conditions, save your money and play somewhere else.

Boooooooooo!!!!

The low-light of our annual golf trip. The round took over 5 hours!! The marshal did absolutely nothing.....and the course was not worth the money. Bunkers were horrible...the fairways had a lot of blemishes.

Great off-course amenities though.
